Want to know where your Bridezilla sisters hail from? The Knot just completed a survey of 25,000 recently married brides and grooms from Los Angeles to New York, and came up with the some fascinating bridal trends-by-region. Click here to find out which state’s brides are throwing the swankiest weddings, and whose wedding gown costs are way above the national average-then book your ticket to go visit!
The Survey Says:
— New York brides are engaged the longest (13.1 months) while Las Vegas
brides have the shortest engagements (9.1 months). Since Bridezillas are known for a drawn out and painstaking wedding planning process, it is safe to assume NY is the spot where many Bridezillas dwell. ( More proof on this below)
— The average wedding guest list is 155 people (but Wisconsin brides have
the largest weddings, averaging 191 invitees). Who knew our cheese-loving sisters were such Bridezillas? Invite us to the Brie buffet ladies!
— Weddings are split in terms of formality, with South Carolina brides
choosing a more casual affair (57%), while New Jersey brides are opting
for black tie (68%). Black tie is the mark of a true Bridezilla, so if your fiance is giving you grief about your super-formal wedding, demand a mini break to NJ to skew his perspective!
— The average cost of a wedding gown is $1,279 (but NYC brides spent the
most at $2,297). We’re telling you, the Big Apple is a true Bridezilla beacon! We’re Orbitzing it as we speak….
— The average cost of a wedding photographer is $2,466 (Long Island
brides spend the most on photography at $3,949). Bridezillas do love photographs, so Long Island is another great place for a Bridezilla meet-up!
